Take a thrill ride in your living room

In any TV maker's lineup there are always a couple models that occupy the sweet spot  the best balance of performance, features and price. In LG's 2012 plasma TV family, one of those models is definitely the 50PM6700. It's a lot of TV for the money. Straight out of the box you'll enjoy a ridiculously good 2D picture, plus the option for an even more immersive 3D experience when you add some of LG's active 3D glasses.

Endless entertainment from the web

When you connect to your broadband Internet service you'll get access to a number of built-in web "apps" that let you instantly watch movies streamed from Netflix®, and order on-demand HD titles from Vudu®. You can even check out what your friends are up to on Facebook® or watch the latest viral videos on YouTube®. Wi-Fi® is built in so you can easily access these services and more using your wireless home network.

The pros of plasma

If you're into picture quality, and you want a cinema-like home viewing experience, you owe it to yourself to check out plasma for your next TV. Plasma holds the edge when it comes to smooth motion and rich colors  high-def movies and TV shows look effortlessly real. Plasma's superior picture contrast and deep black levels are best enjoyed in rooms without a lot of windows or lamps, where you can dim or darken the lights.

1080p Video Resolution: The LG PM6700 series Plasma TV has a
display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All of the television's video inputs are
displayed at
1920 x 1080 (1080p); regardless of input signal. The LG Plasma HDTV features HDMI, Component, and
Composite video inputs.

HDMI (v1.4): The four HDMI v1.4 inputs can be used to connect a DVD player, Blu-ray player, or
satellite/cable box with an HDMI output. The HDMI 2 input can also be used
to connect a device with a DVI output (a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable is
necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used, a separate audio cable will
also be needed from the device to the "PC/DVI Audio In" 3.5mm stereo audio
jack. No audio cables are needed for an HDMI-equipped device. The HDMI jacks
will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals; as well as
support Deep Color, x.v.Color, and 3D content. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video
signals.

Composite: The component video 2 input can also be used
as a composite video input and will accept 480i
only.

Active 3D TV: This Plasma TV can display 3D
(three-dimensional) video when received from a 3D compatible device. 3D video
contains two pictures for each video frame formatted for each eye. Therefore,
special 3D glasses are required to view 3D video. The optional LG RF-based 3D
glasses (689AGS350,
sold separately) enable you to view 3D video and images on this 3D-ready Plasma
television from a 3D-ready source; such as a Blu-ray player, Game system, or
Satellite receiver. The wireless 3D glasses communicate seamlessly with the LG
3D-ready TV via it's built-in Bluetooth (2.4GHz) emitter. The result is a
beautiful, full HD 1080p three-dimensional experience that brings you closer to
the action from the comfort of your home. The LG Plasma TV offers several 3D
modes to match various 3D content.

Note: The LG Plasma 3D-ready TV along with the LG's
active shutter glasses provide a wide, clear view of the action with a
6.5-22.9' and 120° viewing range. To experience LG's 3D technology on this
Plasma TV, you will need LG's 3D Active Shutter Glasses (AG-S350), an HDMI
(ver.1.4) connected 3D source (such as a Blu-ray player or Satellite
receiver), and 3D content.

2D-to-3D: 2D images can be transformed to 3D images. If you
are watching a 2D digital broadcast (720p/1080i), the television can transform
those two-dimensional images to virtual 3D images. You can manually adjust the
3D depth effect.

Intelligent Sensor: Let the TV do the adjustments for
you. Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting
and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
The LG Plasma TV's Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture
to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable
viewing experience. Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of
ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to
evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes
picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness
and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for its surroundings,
more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power
consumption.

Presets:Easy to use factory presets for picture mode
settings include APS (maximizes
video images while reducing power consumption, without hurting picture
quality), Standard (provides optimum viewing for general use), Vivid
(maximizes the effect of the video by strengthening the
contrast/brightness/color/sharpness), Cinema (optimizes video for watching
videos), Game (provides fast response speed for fast gaming system).

User Adjustment: This mode allows you to adjust the
video quality settings manually. Contrast (increase or decrease the
gradient of the video signal), Brightness (adjusts the base level of the
signal in the picture), Sharpness (adjusts the level of crispness in the
edges between the light and dark areas of the picture), Color (adjusts
intensity of all colors), Tint (adjusts the balance between red and green
levels), Color Temp (set to warm to enhance hotter colors such as red, or
set to cool to enhance cooler colors such as blue).

Expert Mode: The LG Plasma TV is ISFccc Ready and
contains the detailed standards necessary for professional calibration of
brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and much more to meet
local lighting conditions for both day and nighttime viewing. Settings are
added to preset Expert 1/2 modes for easy access from your LG remote.

Picture Improvement Technology (Advanced Control): Advanced
Control allows you to adjust some of the advanced video features of the LG
Plasma TV.

Dynamic Contrast: Adjusts the contrast to keep it at
the best level according to the brightness of the screen. The picture is
improved by making bright parts brighter and dark parts darker.

Preferred Color: Set the Skin, Grass, and Sky color
independently.

Super Resolution: Provides a crystal-clear picture by
impr0ving the details in an area that has a blurry or unclear picture.

Gamma: You can adjust the brightness of dark areas and
middle gray level areas of the picture.

Film Mode: Makes video clips recorded in a film look
more natural by eliminating judder effect.

Image Sticking Minimization (ISM): A frozen still picture
displayed on the screen for prolonged periods can result in a ghost image. The
TV's ISM prevents images from sticking or removes ghost images. There are 3 ISM
modes.

Normal: If image sticking is never a problem, ISM is
not necessary - set to Normal.

Orbiter: Orbiter may help prevent ghost images.
However, it is best not to allow any fixed image to remain on the screen. To
avoid a ghost image on the screen, the image will move every 2 minutes.

Color Wash: The color block with the screen moved a
little and the white pattern are alternately displayed. It is difficult to
see the after image on all colors. Once it has been corrected it will not be
visible in any color.

Audio Features

Sound Optimizer: This function optimizes the sound based on
the environment in which the TV is installed (Normal, Wall-Mount, Stand).

Sound Modes: Sound Mode lets you enjoy the best sound
without any special adjustment using factory presets. Standard, Music, Cinema,
Sport, and Game are preset for optimum sound quality. You can also adjust the
TV's sound manually by using the 5-band EQ (100Hz, 300Hz, 1khz, 3khz, 10kHz).

Auto Volume: Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains
consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a regular TV program.
Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions,
volume adjustment may be needed every time the channel is changed. This feature
allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic adjustments for
each program.

Screen Off: You can turn the screen off and only sound is played
through the television's speakers.

Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output
terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The
digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital
when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel
through the TV tuner. The optical digital audio output will
only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the television via HDMI,
RCA, or USB.

AV Sync: If the video and sound of the television are not
synced, you can adjust the delay of the audio output to match the video.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI
1.4 enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to
your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any
separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the
television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used
to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables
connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection,
inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard
through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The
audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch
PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support
ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that
is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 1
input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

LG 50PM6700 Great TV

The LG Plasma 50 inch is better than was expected. More features than we really need, Family has come over and think it is a quality product. LG has done it again. If your purchase this you will be very satisfied. Way to go Crutchfield, Free shipping and fast

Pros:Very easy to set up it does most of it by itself it could not be easier. Great picture, very clear once you get it to your liking. Very happy with the purchase so far

Cons:Digital audio is blocked. Can only connect audio through HDMI, Have to purchase a new receiver with HDMI input to run through my Bose speakers. This is my only complaint about this TV.

LG 50PM6700 plama smart HDTV

Hook up was easy although I had to use HDMI port #4 to make a connection to the set top box. I am presently unable to control the TV via the set top box remote, but I will havre to look into the TV settings to see if there is a set top box slave switch. The TV cobntrols are pretty intuitive though somewhat touchy as the center buttons are close together. I took some time to get used to. The WiFi set up was flawless and very quick. I downloaded the latest firmware upgrade and commenced to adjust the picture to my liking. The colors are brigter and sharper than our Sony 42" LCD. The black levels are also darker and one can easily see the impoved contrast. The built in TV speakers are more than adquate for normal channel viewing. We have not tried the 3D mode but the special RF controlled active shutter glasses are on order (they did not come with the TV).

Pros:Best plama image I have ever seen. Seamless software integration. Lowest cost and best value for the money of any type of HD Smart TV.

Cons:Tricky TV remote. Set top box remote will not control TV volume. (this may not be a tv issue)

LG 50 inch plasma 3D

For my first 3D tv it is great. Although I have not viewed the 3D on it, I can however comment on the HD Picture and it is beautiful. I do wish it had came with the 3D glasses. I have to purchase them separate and I'm. It really liking that.

THX woah! THX was the Main purpose we brough this model which have a decent price for the size and quality. After set up the big screen, the first thing we did was update it latest software. Because I have some technical knowledge, Setting to your like is a little get use to but for foke just want to watching daily broadcast and some bluray or dvd is a 1, 2, 3 setting. OK we have make a big deal about THX and yes it a big deal for most part. First of most or all of us seen the logo video THX in theatre or sometimes on DVD or Bluray. Because they represent quality of sound and picture, manufacture who make speaker must have minimum sound qualify to be certified and manufacture for acceptional picture quality to pass THX guideline for certified. It matter so much to hearing impair person in the house. He can't believe that he can hear better with a pair of 2.1 THX speaker and now with this 50" clearly displace image and subtitle for his need. I found a few who doesn't like the color on THX setting which make the picture look brown or yellowish. I have found that after go to the main screen and set for THX, I closed the main menu and click on top the remote for quick A / V selectional and scroll left / right (you might pass by the first THX set from the main setting so keep pass on) to find A / V setting and their it is, another sellection for THX, now we both happy with our setup. I recomment to first time for big screen or decent price for higher quality enjoyment.

Pros:picture quality outstanding. Sound is as good as a TV suppost to be (get a sound system if your ears require more). 4 HDMI is plenty, component when need. Energy star which is about $21 a year for normal usage was a supprise when my older 36" TV cost 3X as much. THX certified is a big major bonus for this model. LG 50PM6700 is a third generation plasma which have better technology for burn-in prevention setting

Cons:Could include one pair of glasses or at least one eye glass just for 3D try out. My two cats giving me a heart attack everytimes they playing around center stand support cause the whole sceen rocking a little. Some glare when you have the house light on (Note: all TV will have glare when you light direct to the screen) (Dim or light Off for us went we watch a movie or hours show anyway). Careful with the burn-in on plasma for first 200 hours by not let any still image over a hour or so.

LG 50PM6700 TV

Looking for a new TV with a good picture and internet based connectivity. Reviewed a slew of sets [mainly LED's] and finally came to the realization that to get both I would have to be in the $1600 and up range for a decient LED one. Besides, many of the LED sets had reviews of questionalbe performance claims. I went with the plasma mainly for the picture quality [great blacks - contrast, little fast action motion concerns and overall design] . This set has good connection features [connects to most everything, including a PC - where the best internet searching is to be found.] Noone, I fould, makes a really PC like browser built-in. All this, and more, for a great price.

Pros:Super picture, almost endless adjustment possibilities. Can set custom picture settings two times for selected inputs. I do over-the -air HD recption, and the picture is great. I had satelite and I really think the direct broadcast is better quality.

Cons:One con is with the standard remote. I am not ham-fisted, but I think the buttons are a little too small and close togeather. Too often I hit the 'Main Apps' button going for the up arrow. Would it have killed them to make a larger one. The only other con I have is with the 3D glasses. [see my seperate review on that] Should come with the set.

Love this TV, with caveats

This is, so far, a pretty nice TV. I waited a long time to commit to the price of a flat-screen - did the research and carefully decided what I wanted. This TV has it all. 3D Plasma in a slim case, 4HDMI inputs as well as those for composite, PC, USB (2) and Ethernet. I initially had it on the included stand, which was a snap to set up and is very stable, but have since wall mounted it - also a fairly uncomplicated procedure. The picture is awesome, but did require some tweaking on my part. Everybody has their own preferences, so it's a good thing that almost any adjustment you'd like is easily accessed through a click of the 'Settings' button. The only criticisms I have so far concern the remote, and they're not serious. The first is a warning to the buyer. If you research this unit, you might find that, according to LG, it comes with the AN-MR300 Magic Remote, a scroll wheel device that works through an on-screen mouse pointer. My set did not come with it, including instead the standard AKB73615336 remote. I have no beef with Crutchfield, as their description does list this model number, but I did the research first and assumed it would be the same no matter where I purchased it. Some of the buttons on the remote are a bit too close together, which is a particular problem with those around the periphery of the arrow selector - it's a bit too easy to accidentally hit the wrong button. Large but mostly useless apps menu. Pandora would be a welcome addition.

Pros:Great picture, great features at a very nice price point. Easy to set up & use.

Cons:Less than ideal remote - some buttons too close together, Magic Remote not included if purchased from Crutchfield. App for Pandora not included.

Bad ghosting

Image ghosting is my primary concern. I haven't figured out yet what causes it cuz it does not appear to be consistent. The basic characteristic is when a white screen follows a screen with a large menu, a residual ghost image of the menu remains on the white screen. The ghosting is why I scored the TV 3 stars.

Pros:Basic picture quality is good. Nice color saturation. Nice 1080P processing as well as up-scaling of SD and 720P. 3D is very immersive once you get into a movie.

LG 50PM6700

I researched Plasma vs Led Tv's for about a month before buying this LG Plasma.When looking at Tv's at stores,the LED Tv's definitley look better.But one of the deciding factors was what a sale's person told me...He said "All the representatives i deal with have Plasma Tv's,for thier superior overall picture quality".I went with my instincts and then pulled the trigger on this LG Plasma.I'm very glad I did.Really just an incredible picture.Plenty bright too as it's in my very bright living room.After watching a Netflix Science documentary about the history of the SUN,my wife even commented how incredible the colors are on this Tv.For setup I just used the Setup Wizard and turned off the Power saver.I did notice some soap opera effects,but then did the internet update with LG and it's gone.If you decide to purchase this TV you'll be more than satisfied.Crutchfield also was very helpful and I recieved the Tv in four days.

Pros:Incredible clear picture with great colors.

Cons:TV speakers are just OK.Will be getting a sound bar or other small system to improve that.

50" HDTV

This TV is fantastic. Wonderful picture quality, easy to set up. Very attractive thin frame. As I just moved from an old 26" set, I can't really say if this new TV is any different from other 50" HDTVs, but some friends with other sets have raved about this one. The swivel stand is a particularly useful feature.

My first Plasma tv and first 3-D

I had no idea 1080p high definition TV was so, well, high definition! The images are sharp, the blacks are black and the experience is almost overwhelming at first. Our first 3-D movie was an IMAX about the Grand Canyon. I watched it in 2-D before the special glasses came and then the family watched it with the 3-D glasses. The experience was just unbelievable and fun. I'm buying more 3-D blue-ray disks now...

I would only give a 5-star rating if something was beyond just really good.

Pros:Excellent picture; 50" seems to be the right size for us; the whole thing looks really, really good. Crutchfield advisers were on the phone with me to walk me through connections, etc. to make sure it worked.

Cons:To make it work best you need HDMI all through your connections. There are so many options that it is difficult to get it correct without help.
